Patriots defensive lineman Deatrich Wise is set to host a block party this Saturday at the Mattapan Boys and Girls Club.
There will be a pop up barbershop, hair braiding, food trucks, musical performances, and a vaccination station provided by Boston Medical Center according to the press release.
Wise, who began hosting the event three years ago, said he was inspired after meeting some of the kids.
“There’s tremendous kids out there,” Wise said. “They have tremendous talent in a lot of different things, videography, music, singing, arts, technology. When I came across those kids — I know Mattapan doesn’t get a lot of good news — but I think a really good thing everybody should know is what these kids are doing in Mattapan.
